Chapter 412: Chapter 261 Mysterious Barbarian Tribe Goddess_2
But then again, seeing such a fairy depart was something Lu Chen found rather hard to let go of.
At this moment, Lu Chen rested his large hand on Chen Wanrong's slender, fair leg, gently caressed it, and said, "Okay then, but when do you plan to return to the North Country?"
"You don't have my child yet, we still need to work harder on that."
Hearing this, Chen Wanrong pondered for a moment before answering, "Once those Elders are stabilized, I'll return to the North Country."
Lu Chen responded, "Alright then, I'll wait for your return."
Seeing how readily Lu Chen agreed, Chen Wanrong looked into his eyes and asked, "Aren't you afraid that once I go back, I'll never return?"
Upon hearing this question from Chen Wanrong, Lu Chen gently smiled, then leaned in closer, shifting his body towards her. He raised his hand to stroke her beautiful cold cheek and, gazing into her eyes, said, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that I've poisoned you with love? If you don't come back, can you bear to live without me?"
Chen Wanrong did not avoid Lu Chen's gaze and continued to say, "I can force out the love poison you've given me with my cultivation."
Lu Chen, with a smile, replied, "Then you can try."
"But I think I told you before I came to Ningbei City, if you really don't come back, I will go to the Mysterious Moon Palace and snatch you back."
"I'm quite domineering after all. Once you're my wife for a day, you'll be my wife for life, it won't be so easy to get rid of me."
Chen Wanrong was unimpressed, responding icily, "Eventually, you'll get tired of me."
In Chen Wanrong's view, although Lu Chen still fancied her beauty now, he already had so many women, each one extremely beautiful and mesmerizing. Plus, with Lu Chen's growing strength, he would undoubtedly marry even more women in the future.
Once the number of Lu Chen's women reached a certain point, it was highly likely that he would become weary of the ones from the past.
The joys of men and women are all transient. His women are all so beautiful; whether it was with her or any other, it was all the same for Lu Chen. Perhaps after they had been intimate many times, he would lose interest in her.
Lu Chen just laughed upon hearing this from Chen Wanrong. He then wrapped his hand around her slender waist and said, "Tired? I won't get tired. Bullying a beauty such as you, how could I ever feel weary?"
With an expressionless face, Chen Wanrong replied, "That's just what you say now."
Seeing that Chen Wanrong didn't believe his words, Lu Chen said, "How about this, let's make a bet. If I never grow tired of you in the future, then you'll stay by my side forever. As long as you're by my side, I'll visit your room at least once a month. What do you think?"
Hearing Lu Chen say that, Chen Wanrong's originally rosy cheeks flushed even redder. She stopped speaking and didn't agree to the bet proposed by Lu Chen.
Anyway, whether Lu Chen grew tired or not had nothing to do with her; she only planned on giving birth to a child for him. Once their child was grown, she would return to the Mysterious Moon Palace to continue her cultivation, waiting for her master's seclusion to end.
Seeing that Chen Wanrong had nothing more to say, Lu Chen lowered his head and kissed her red lips, deeply kissing her for a while. Chen Wanrong did not push Lu Chen away as she had grown used to being intimate with him.
After a moment, their lips parted. Lu Chen then said, "I'm going to check on the battlefield, continue to rest."
Chen Wanrong softly hummed in acknowledgment without saying much more.
Lu Chen then got up, dressed, and left the room, heading straight for the battlefield.
At this time, the troops of the North Country were still clearing the battlefield in the Barbarian Tribe's camp. Even though a night had passed, the soldiers were still bustling with activity.
Riding his horse around the perimeter of the Barbarian Tribe's camp, Lu Chen soon encountered Mu Changtian and other generals who approached him and greeted, "We pay our respects to the Prince!"
Lu Chen nodded and inquired, "How's the situation?"
Mu Changtian reported, "Aside from some Barbarian Tribe soldiers who managed to escape under the cover of darkness, the Tianqi King's forces have been virtually annihilated by us. The soldiers did a rough count of the Barbarian Tribe bodies; we killed two hundred thousand enemies last night and captured eighty thousand Barbarian Tribe soldiers."
While the Tianqi King's army had a total of four hundred thousand, Mu Changtian's report only mentioned two hundred thousand Barbarian Tribe soldiers, but considering the casualties during the half-month of battle leading up to this, this number basically aligned with the size of the forty thousand-strong Barbarian Tribe forces.
Of course, under such darkness last night, there would have undoubtedly been some who managed to escape.
Lu Chen continued, "Send out scouts to check the hoof prints on the grasslands and continue the search for Barbarian Tribe soldiers who escaped last night."
Mu Changtian assured him, "Please rest easy, my Prince. General Wenren and General Xiao have already dispatched cavalry to search for those fleeing Barbarian Tribe soldiers."
Lu Chen ordered, "Take me to see the Barbarian Tribe captives who surrendered."
Lu Chen was somewhat concerned about the final words of the Tianqi King before his death; he wanted to find some Barbarian Tribe soldiers to inquire about this so-called Goddess.
"Please follow me, Your Highness," said Mu Changtian.
Afterward, Mu Changtian led Lu Chen to the temporary camp where the Barbarian Tribe captives were held.
When Lu Chen appeared at the temporary camp of the Barbarian Tribe captives, each one of them became incredibly fearful, having sensed the aura of a Martial Artist emanating from Lu Chen. Some slightly stronger Barbarian Tribe soldiers immediately deduced that this young man was a Grandmaster.
